Mesrine: Killer Instinct is part 1 of a two-part 2008 French-Canadian "Mesrine" film series directed by Jean-François Richet and starring Vincent Cassel as the French criminal Jacques Mesrine. Based on Mesrine's autobiographical book "L'instinct de mort", Killer Instinct details Mesrine's rise in the Paris criminal underworld after serving in the army in Algeria, as well as his early exploits in Paris, and later in Quebec, Canada. Part 2 is known as Mesrine: Public Enemy Number 1.

Unknown Revolvers
I am still trying to confirm these weapons - if anyone has any ideas please write below!
Silenced Pistols
Manufrance Rapid
Mesrine uses a French 12 Gauge slide-action Manufrance Rapid shotgun during the casino robbery. This hunting shotgun usually had an extended magazine. Its action is similar to that of the Remington 870 but it has an aluminum receiver. Sold in the USA during the 1970-s as La Salle Riot Gun.
Mk 2 hand grenade
Mercier uses a Mk 2 hand grenade to destroy a police cruiser when he and Mesrine decide to abort the attack on the prison.
